The former National Security
Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) will regain his freedom any time soon as a
Federal High Court Judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu has signed his bail
application.

Recall that we had reported last week
that Dasuki’s sureties had met the requirements for the bail bond.

Dasuki has been in detention of
the Department of State Security Service (DSS) since December 29, 2015 when he
was rearrested by security operatives.

Exactly two weeks ago, Justice
Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court Abuja granted him bail after 30-month
incarceration.

On Monday, family sources told
PRNigeria that the ex-NSA, through his associates and well-wishers, had
perfected requisites which were verified by officials of the Federal High Court
to confirming authenticity.

They expressed hope that Justice
Ojukwu’s endorsement of the bail papers would clear the way for Dasuki’s
release.

Meanwhile, relatives and friends
of the detained NSA have been arriving Abuja in anticipation of his release by
the federal government in compliance.

Dasuki, who had been granted bail
by four different High Courts in Nigeria and ECOWAS Court of Justice, had filed
a fundamental human rights suit against the state to obey all court orders for
his release.

In its ruling, the ECOWAS Court
not only ordered Dasuki’s release, it imposed a fine of N15 million on the
federal government for unlawful detention. Authorities are yet to comply with
the verdict.

In the latest judgement, Justice
Ijeoma Ojukwu ordered that Dasuki to be released on bail in the sum of
N200million and two sureties in the like sum.

The court said that one of the
sureties must be a federal government employee with not less than grade level
16.

In the event of a private person
standing as the surety, the court held that the person must have landed
property in Abuja.

Besides, Justice Ojukwu said the
surety must deposit N100 million with the registrar of the court and that the
money would be returned to the surety at the end of the trial of the former
NSA.
